Sky Ute Casino

Colorado’s Sky Ute Casino in Ignacio is looking toward a completion date later this year, say officials. Groundbreaking was about a year ago for the casino, which is owned by the Southern Ute Indians. The resort casino will have 700 slot machines, 10 gaming tables, a 146-room hotel, miniature golf, a bowling alley, a bingo hall, shopping and dining. It will employ up to 600 workers. Work began two months ago on a freeway interchange from State Highway 172 to serve the casino.
